This could be a much nicer course but it does not seem to be as well taken care of as it once was. Rumors of them selling the course and it appears to be true. Fairway grass was almost as long as the rough in certain areas. Sand traps were almost unplayable with the amount of rocks in them. Will not be returning unless a large price drop.

Needs new ownership!!!! This course could be one of the best!
I dream of the day this course is bought out by someone who actually wants to make it shine. All that farmland across the street and this club has never built a nice practice facility with a driving range. Obviously the current owners do not care about making this course special because if they did you would have the best course in the state of Illinois. A good renovation with an architect such as Tom Doak would absolutely make this the number 1 golf destination around and also may even attract a pro tournament.
